I agree with you, Don Marco. I think that guards are usually the ones with the BEST chance to have a triple double. Usually getting double figures in points is a given, and since guards have the ball in their hands for most of the game, then they're the ones most likely to get 10 assists. A lot of rebounds happen by accident or by being in the right place at the right time, so it's not unheard of for a guard to get 10 rebounds every tenth game or so.

If the father of the triple double was Oscar Robertson, then the next generation was Magic Johnson. More recently we have Jason Kidd and sometimes Kobe Bryant posting them. Do you notice that they're all guards? In the rare instance that a center will get a triple double, it's often because they have a really good game defensively and end up with 10 blocks.

Wilt Chamberlain is the only center to ever lead the league in assists, and he did that in his later years with the Lakers. Wilt is the only player in history to have what I like to call a double-triple-double. In one game he had over 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists. That's like two triple-doubles for the price of one. He's probably also the only guy to have 20 blondes, 20 brunettes, and 20 redheads all in the same night!
